[clunk]

Again, shocked, but I oddly like this pick a lot.

 

[vancityluongo]

good pick. i like this choice

 

[BigTruzz]

Not mad.

Happy actually.

 

[Star Ocean]

Pettersson and pod could be deadly

 

[Bgav]

So happy holy shit

 

[SR]

Great pick guys. Glad he went west so we can see him play.

 

[Balls Mahoney]

f*** yeah! Huge fan of this pick and this kid. This is such a huge swing for the fences pick. I am happy.

 

[Love]

Lets take a minute and acknowledge the pronunciation by Stan Smyl

Thought we were going caufield but im not mad. Podz dropped from the top 5 not even 2 or 3 months ago if im correct.

 

[VanillaCoke]

Big motherf***ing swing for the fences

 

[Baby Pettersson]

2 years. I can't wait!

 

[calnuck]

hopefully helps get Tryamkin over and dude should be a beast on Horvats wing and helping Petey get knocked around less. Was really disgusting watching him get run over and injured last year with almost no response

 

[thefutures]

Tbh anythings beats trading the pick for Barrie

 

[Bettman Returnz]

Hmm not mad either. Interesting.

 

[Baby Pettersson]

If he was from NA I'm sure people would have debated him at first OA.

 

[UK Canuck]

I like the pick, no complaints from me, I would have picked Boldy but Podkolzin is an excellent player

 

[BenningHurtsMySoul]

You know what? I f*** with this pick.

This is ballsy. And they made a good point that whoever they get at 10 will take at least 2 years to make the team anyways. Zegras was likely their guy but he was gone.

It’s also a move to bring Tryamkin over. Now he sees we’re investing in Russian players more.

Not to mention, the dude should have been a top 5 pick. He’s insanely talented.

 

[The Drop]

I’m good with this. Our scouting has been good last couple years so I’m liking this.

 

[Yultron]

Him and Pettersson are going to kill it !!!

 

[VeteranNetPresence]

Don't hate it

 

[PetterssonSimp]

I only like this if Goldy and Trammer come back with this kid! Russian invasion I’m down for if the guy we have follow!

 

[Love]

I honestly had no reaction to this because I thought there was no way in a million years we would choose him.

 

[Red]

I would have preferred Boldy or Newhook. But it could have been worse.

 

[timw33]

I like taking a big swing like this over going safe. And Canucks can't touch him for 2 years which is probably for the best.

 

[Love]

No interview for Podkolzin... guessing he cant speak English?
